"Don't blow me off, God. I never asked you for anything before and I never wanted to come to you like this, but don't take Turner away from me; he's not done yelling at me yet. God, you're not talking but I know you're here, so I'm gonna talk, and you can listen. God, I don't wanna be empty inside any more."
-Shawn Hunter, "Boy Meets World"(season 4, episode 21)





"It's just another morning glory
One more twisted side of this wild ride
Another chapter in the story
But I can't hide the way I feel inside
'Cause I'm a stranger in a strange land
And I'm a million miles from my home
If I gotta take my last stand
Well, I won't stand alone
I won't stand alone."
-Johnny Pacar, "I Won't Stand Alone"

First of all, I have to follow Liberty and do a BMW quote!

"You do your thing, and I do my thing. You are you and I am I. And if the end we end up together, it's beautiful." - Topanga Lawrence, season 2, ep. 21

And then, the song lyric that always stays with me:

"What a shame, what a shame to judge a life that you can't change" - Shinedown <3

[Liberty Hoffman]

DawnTreader07: I LOVE that quote!

All the pictures you take. Begin to fade away.
All the promises you make. Are always broken.
So tell me.
Where's the truth. Were's it lie
Far away deep inside.
Don't you know that your time is running out and
You cant Hide.
Hide away for to long
it wont matter when the truth is gone
So when will you listen.

When all the things are starting over and your drowning under water
I'll get you out. Save you now.
When all your ways are finally over and you've got back out from under
Breathe in now. Safe Unsound.

All the worlds that you paint where everything is so perfect
Where your sun always shines forever without a fade. Away.
So tell me.
Where's the truth in this lie
You cant believe in this kind of life
It's so unreal. So full of hurt. Cries the lies
It doesn't matter. Matter to you. Matter at all
You try to climb. You some how fall back away.
Into your world that is fiction

-Forever The Day "Safe Unsound"

Thought I might post a few quotes/Facebook statuses in here. They're all from converstations between me and my various family members...although the majority of them feature my sister, Mim or The Jedi Clone.

*watching the Pride and Prejudice with Keira Knightly*
Mr. Darcy, at the end: "I am incandescently happy." *kisses Lizzie's nose*
Mim: "Did he just kiss her nose?!"
Mom: "Well, he's incandescently happy. Like a lightbulb. Maybe he thought she was Rudolph."

My 6yo sister, talking with my dad about why she wants glasses so badly: "I can't *read*, daddy. I want glasses so I can read!"
None of us told her the real reason she couldn't read is because she doesn't know how.

Mim has been trying to convince me that the second and third Hunger Games movies are going to be musicals.
Me: *scoffs* "Where and when did you hear that?"
Mim: "Um, last Sunday. On the internet."
Me: "...that explains everything. Last Sunday was April Fool's day."
Mim: "...oh."

Mom: *comes into my room* "You are the only girl I know who would do their writing assignment on 'paintballing'."
*leaves*
Me: *yelling down the hall* "...does this mean I get an A?!"

Me: "Can I put the game on, dad? The Sharks are losing and I want to see if they can make a comeback."
Dad: "How do you know?"
Me: *holds up phone*
Dad: "Oh. Well. Any girl who has an NHL app on her phone can turn on the game at any time." *hands me the remote*

*after getting a haircut*
Me: *bounces around the room, showing off my short hair*
Mim: "Are you seriously bouncing around?"
Me: "I'm PRANCING!!! There's a difference, you know."

While watching the Order of the Phoenix with my brother and sister...
Brother: "I don't get this."
Mim: *launches into an in depth description of what is going on and why*
Brother: "Ya know what? Forget it. You obviously need a PHD in Wizardry to get this. I'm going to bed."

Me: *whining about something*
Mim: "What's up with you?"
Me: "I am a horrible horrible human being."
Mim: "Oh. That's nice."
Me: "..."

The last one, featuring our very own Rosie Posie...

Me: "I AM SO HUNGRY." *noms on the llama plushie*
Rose: "CANNIBALISM. o.o"
Me: "Um, no. I'm not a llama, so no cannibalism."
Rose: "YOU ARE TOO A LLAMA. You're just in denial. You need to embrace your heritage. "
Me: "e.o"
Rose: "Lia the Llama has a very nice ring to it."

ROFL...those were great Melian_Maia! Your 6 yo sister sounds too cute!

[Liberty Hoffman]

*Eric and Topanga have gone on a diet together, but are keeping it a secret; Cory thinks the reason Topanga is acting differently is that she's pregnant*
Eric: *to Topanga* "Look, in a few months, everything's gonna be back to normal, okay?"
Cory: "All right, Eric. What's going on?"
Eric: "Hey, Cor. You smell like chicken."
Cory: "Don't change the subject. I know Topanga confided in you. What did she tell you?"
Eric: "She told me that she's in trouble and it's all your fault. Your waffles and butter did this to her."
Cory: "Why would Topanga confide in you instead of her own husband?"
Eric: "Because she knew how you'd react."
Cory: "You mean like this? *screams* My life is over! *back to normal voice* Like that?"
Eric: "That's why she came to me, okay? People like us have similar appetites, that's how we get into situations like this."
Cory: "You've been in this situation before?"
Eric: "Yeah, on and off since high school."
Cory: "Do Mom and Dad know?"
Eric: "Yeah, Mom and Dad know. Dad actually thinks it's kinda funny
*laughs*
Cory: "Oh, no, Eric. There is nothing funny about this. Every day she gets bigger, my life gets a little more complicated."
Eric: "Your life? Is that all you can think about? What about Topanga, huh? What is she supposed to do? Her body's out of control and she has nowhere to turn! Look, if you can't be supportive then the best possible thing for you to do is just stay away from her. Just stay away from her!"
Cory: *hysterical* "I don't know what I should do!"

For my calligraphy class I had to find a Roman or Greek quote to write out and while I was searching I found I few that I really liked, so I thought I'd share them

"Better a cautious commander, and not a rash one".--Augustus

"I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 96% how I react to it".--Scipio Africanus

“The wounds of love can only be healed by the one who made them.”-- Publilius Syrus

"'He means well' is useless unless he does well."--Plautus

"I would rather be adorned by beauty of character than jewels. Jewels are the gift of fortune, while character comes from within."--Plautus

-Boy Meets World

[Aslans_Jewel]

Not much of a quote, but the main slogan of the political reforms in Japan during the Great Depression-time period was "Gekokuj," Which, translated means "The lower rules the higher"

Then there's the obvious "The ends justify the means." ~Niccolo Machiavelli

and the 3rd stanza of the Marine Corps Hymn:
"If the Army and the Navy
were to look on Heaven's scenes
They will find the streets are guarded
by United States Marines."

[Liberty Hoffman]

"Like a shooting star across the sky
You kissed the clouds and softly sighed, "Goodnight."
And so I stare into the galaxy
And traced the path that used to be
Used to be your light
I tried to make the seconds last
Pretend the moment hasn't passed
But wishing on a fallen star
Won't change the truth of where you are.

Still I miss you
And I wish you
Everything the heavens hold
I pray with all my mind
Still I miss you
And I wish you
Everything the heavens hold
And when you go to sleep tonight
Your soul is
Finally free."

-"Finally Free" by Johnny Pacar

[Lady Haleth]

If you can fly, don't stop at the sky, 'cause there's footprints on the moon!--
Owl City, "Thy Yacht Club."

[Liberty Hoffman]

"I walk alone in this world... Alone I walk... Except for the grilled cheese sandwich in my pocket."

-Frankie Stechino, "Boy Meets World"
